The Six Heavenly Demon Kings, the Dragon Demon King, and the others had already left Northern Julu Continent when the great formation was first established.
However, out of caution, they did not immediately head for Sunken Void Island.
The Six Heavenly Demon Kings themselves had countless demon spawn and demon descendants, so they were not worried about lacking strength.
But the Dragon Demon King and the others had not brought out their hundred thousand avian soldiers. As six old demons all on their own, they did not trust the Six Heavenly Demon Kings either.
So they first returned to the Dragon Demon Palace in the North Sea and summoned their old subordinates.
Without the Eight Immortals' assistance, Zhao Gongming had not done much to Shen Gongbao. Ao Shun could only return in frustration, unable to uproot the Dragon Demon Palace completely.
Some of the scattered sea demons returned to the Dragon Demon Palace.
Though some great demons resented the Dragon Demon King for using everyone as cover for his escape, most still wished to remain under the Dragon Demon Palace's protection.
After all, without a power to shelter them in the North Sea, how could they withstand the Dragon Palace's encirclement and suppression?
If Rogue Cultivators stayed quietly in one place and cultivated in seclusion, the Dragon Palace would not trouble them.
But that required them to settle their hearts. Those accustomed to the pleasures of the Dragon Demon Palace were hardly willing to live such a bitter, austere life.
Thus, the Dragon Demon King and the others naturally gathered and reorganized a million demon soldiers.
After settling matters at home, they led their army to rendezvous with the Six Heavenly Demon Kings.
The two sides met on a remote little island and discussed what came next.
